You don’t buy that he was a Reagan-loving conservative at the end? Me neither. I imagine (no pun intended) that we would like him about as much as we like Sean Penn and Alec Baldwin were he still alive.
I’m not a Beatles fan. I actually like their solo stuff more, including some of the stuff off of Double Fantasy, when he actually had backed way off on the political stuff (at least, the tracks I’ve heard; I’m no expert). I despise Imagine. Communist Manifesto set to music.
HAH! Lennon, a CONSERVATIVE? Give me a break. He was one of the biggest drug addicts of that time, everything that came from his mouth besides his music was BS. All the peace and love and no religion BS. Evil, naive, a very dangerous little man solely for the fact that his drug addled fans basically would eat up any of the BS spewing from the orifice he called his mouth.
I’d be willing to wager, most of the morons in charge right now LOVE LENNON. They subscribe to his dangerous, naive world view. Societies are different, cultures are different, not every race is created equally. That’s just a fact. People like LENNON think everyone is of the same mind, which is a very dangerous think to assume.
“I despise Imagine. Communist Manifesto set to music.”
Yes, agreed. But John Lennon just wrote the song, it is the stupid world who turned it into an all purpose anthem just because people are too stupid and lazy to listen to the LYRICS.
